About Me

I am a data scientist with a Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where I developed a passion for uncovering patterns in complex datasets and translating them into actionable insights. My expertise lies in data analytics, visualizations, predictive modeling, pipeline production, and geospatial analysis using tools like R, Python, SQL, Unix, Git, high-throughput computing, and QGIS.

I excel at designing scalable workflows and predictive models that transform raw data into resolutions that drive decision-making and innovation. By applying advanced analytical techniques to biological systems, I have developed a deep understanding of complex, dynamic data - skills that translate to solving real-world challenges in business, technology, and other professional settings.

Below are selected snippets of projects demonstrating my relevant experiences. Code behind the graphics and tables can be expanded throughout to showcase my skills in data wrangling, statistical analysis, and visualization using Python, R, or SQL languages.
